Did you really just cite an NPR poll as any form of substantial evidence whatsoever? Polls are only as useful as the questions being asked, most Americans probably don't even know that it is illegal.
Nullification is the refusal to execute the enforcement of a law. If Trump's administration kicks out dreamers, they're not just ignoring/nullifying the law, they are breaking it.
It's the law until this judge's ruling is overturned. Like it or not, this is how our system operates.
And before you go off in a tizzy, Huff, show me where Congress passed DACA.
The judicial branch interprets the law. What this judge says is the law until he gets overturned. Regardless of what judicial precedent is, or what congress did, this ruling is the law. When the next level of the judicial system reviews this, they will take into account what precedent is, and what congress's part may have been, and overturn but until then, this is the law. I'm surprised this has to be explained to you.

Okay, when did Congress pass DACA? Which session was in? Where is it in the US Code? Why can't Trump undo it?
Don't even try to lecture me about this when you can't even grasp the basic principles behind what you're arguing about.
I think it will be overturned, but that's beside the point. The point is Trump wouldn't just be nullifying the law, he would be breaking it. This is the law, but likely not for very long.
It’s odd how no judge touched Obama’s executive orders but everything Trump is tries to fix is met with resistance. Does an executive order have authority or not and why does one liberal judge get to decide?
Are you implying that the only laws subject to the judicial branch's interpretation are limited to congressional legislation?
Think long and hard about this.

It's very simple, numbskull, Executive Orders put in place during one Administration can be undone by another Administration. If you failed this portion of basic grade school civics, I can't help you. But there it is.
And since when are Executive Orders laws? Go ahead, try to school me.
Because this is our system. I'm not arguing that this is a good outcome. For the last time, I'm arguing that this is our system of government.
Are you saying this is not how our system works?
It's even more simple than that. Executive orders can be undone by the judicial branch. You're angry, condescending, and wrong. The VN politics trifecta.
